bpcc [ ♪ theme ♪ ] >> stephanie: hello current tv! guess what i got you guys all as early christmas presents. >> what? >> spongebob squarepants. >> he lives in a pineapple under the sea. >> he will be on the phobe this hour! how about that, jacki? >> very exciting. just repeated the one line i knew. he lives in a pineapple under the sea. >> stephanie: i got you sexy liberal man meat hal sparks in hour number three. even more exciting for political geeks like me, representative tim wall. putting forth the petition for the middle class tax cuts in the house.
9:01 am
>> like that. >> stephanie: a little something for everybody this morning. here she is, jacki schechner for everybody. in the current news center. >> good morning, everybody! president obama is meeting with business leaders again today to talk about the consequences of going over the fiscal cliff. he's also claiming to call on congressional leaders to make sure we raise the debt ceiling without contention. the white house making the case that extending the bush tax cuts for the middle class is directly connected to the health of our businesses. companies need to know consumers will be able to spend and in his first post-election interview president obama again rejected the house republican counteroffer that is on the table. >> unfortunately the speaker's proposal right now is still out of balance. we're going to have to see the rates on the top 2% go up and we're not going to be able to get a deal without it. >> let's hope he sticks to it. >> g.o.p. leaders aren't only dealing with the president and congressional democrats they're dealing with a split within their own ranks. more conservative republicans don't want party leaders to compromise anymore than they think they already have.
9:02 am
even though the republican plan offers up $800 billion in new taxes without upping tax rates at all tea party leaders say higher taxes shouldn't be in any form because it is not what republicans stand for. south carolina senator jim demint went so far as to call on supporters of his senate conservative fund to call senate republicans and ask them to oppose what he's calling the boehner tax hike. the looming question for republicans what may be willing to compromise is what's your bottom line? the fallback position that is most likely at this point may turn out to be extending the middle class tax cuts through the end of the year and then continuing this fight in the run-up the need to raise the debt ceiling the end of january or early february. just what we need for it to drag on even longer. we're back with more show after the break. stay with us.
9:03 am
jennifer > it's these "talking points" that the right have about "the heavy hand of government". i want to have that conversation. let's talk about it. really. really! that you're gonna lay people off because now the government's going to help you fund your health care. really? i wanna be able to have those conversations. not just to be confrontational, but to understand what the other side is saying. and you know, i'd like to arm our viewers with the ability to argue with their conservative uncle joe over the dinner table.

i think the number one thing that viewers like about the young turks is that we're honest. they can question whether i'm right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to the best of his ability, is trying to look out for us. but when joint pain and stiffness from psoriatic arthritis hit even the smallest things became difficult. i finally understood what serious joint pain is like. i talked to my rheumatologist and he prescribed enbrel. enbrel can help relieve pain, stiffness, and stop joint damage. because enbrel, etanercept suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events

including infections tuberculosis lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores have had hepatitis b have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. [ phil ] get back to the things that matter most. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists.

state parties and outside progressive groups by giving them insight and everything from people voting habits to their tv watching habits to who may be most inclined to volunteer. they have not made a decision as to how to share the list if they're going to at all. they're using it to try to generate support for the president's legislative agenda. campaign manager jim messina warns, however that the list is specific to this president, not a bad point and it is no guarantee that any of the information would be relevant or accurate for other democratic candidates. for that reason, those candidates parties outside groups, may be better off just replicating the president's messages and techniques in building the list than trying to get their hands on the list itself. and a quick note on hillary clinton, a new abc news "washington post" poll shows if she decides to run for president in 2016, she's already got a leg up. 57% of people say they would support her. not a bad start. we're back after the break. stay with us.

10:06 am
families making less than $250,000 which is, of course, everybody gets that break on their first $250,000 and 98% of people don't make that much. we said let's pass that. take that off the table. then come back to this other to end the drama. >> stephanie: what it does, it brings the senate past middle class tax cuts which president obama said he will sign immediately to the house. >> what we could do, if we get the 218 signatures, we'll need some help from what i would consider to be moderate to pragmatic republicans, it would be on christmas eve. we could have it done. it takes seven days after we get her done. we could do it christmas eve. president said they would sign it. what i think is stephanie it changes the entire debate on this. it gets away from this -- we crafted this deadline and it is an artificial deadline we crafted but it is serious. it is ludicrous. the people don't understand it. like in any other, they do these oversimplifications of the kitchen table budgeting.
10:07 am
well if you use their analogy on that, when you can't decide on something, pick the things out you can. this is an easy one. republicans say they want it. they'll vote for it. i can find no reason why you wouldn't do it. >> stephanie: representative, obviously there's -- separate from the issue is the politics of it. the reason they wouldn't do it is they think that's their leverage because then you're forcing them to vote on just -- for the rich again. >> i agree stephanie. what this does is if this isn't about holding the middle class as leverage to exact tax cuts for the wealthiest or cuts to medicare or whatever, no one will say that, you know, straight up. but if you don't sign this, what are we left to believe? that that would be the only reason -- so i think one of the things was i've used this technique once before. i was the author on the stock act to get some changes to congressional insider trading and i threatened to put this forward and the threat of a discharge petition was enough to say okay, i don't want to have to explain why i didn't vote on this because these guys are
10:08 am
recessing today at noon and not doing anything. this is worse than kabuki dance they're not even dancing. >> stephanie: they have to be looking at the same polling particularly the latest "washington post" poll that shows the vast majority of americans will blame republicans. >> after this last election, i'm not sure they look at polls the same way. yes, i would think so. what i said, stephanie early when this vote came up and we were still debating it, i had concerns on it because i represent a predominantly agricultural district. there were concerns with the estate tax in there. that's not reason to hold this ing up. i ask these folks i ask my colleague on the floor did you find a constituent that said we want you guys to keep fighting, not agree on anything and kick it down the road. and they all are embarrassed. no, of course not. well i said wouldn't you like to get a win here? wouldn't you just like to go home and say okay, we did this. >> stephanie: as you and the president have said, the typical family, it will cost $2,200. >> it is serious. for many of us, we understand
10:09 am
the bush tax cuts were a huge part of the problem with the long-term deficit and all of that. we don't deny that especially in a time of coming out of a recession, discretionary incomes in middle-class families get spent into the economy. that's 80% of our economy is consumer spending. the tax cuts at the top don't get spent. they get put on somewhere and they don't make a difference on the economy. so i would think the republicans could pound their chest and say see, we were right about this. to be honest with you, i don't care what they have to tell themselves just to get it done. >> stephanie: i thought the president made an interesting point yesterday. there is not enough time this year to come up with an overhaul of the u.s. tax system and entitlement programs as republicans want as a condition to avoid the cliff. >> yes, i want that, too. i want tax reform. i'm sure you do. it is too complex. i had a bill i wanted introduced that said all members of congress do their own taxes. find out how quickly then we decide we want to have reform because it is too complex and that complexity adds to the
10:10 am
loopholes we talk about. >> stephanie: that's why your bill makes perfect sense. get this done now. give 98% of us tax relief. the things that both sides agree on and then the president yesterday thinks the president is poised to take off. obviously going over the cliff is the last thing anybody wants right now. >> i agree. i hear people on both sides talk about that. it may have been a contrived cliff. i know some folks call it a curve or whatever they want to call it. the fact of the matter is a large portion of any economy is the psychological effect of it. and you can't tell me that middle class -- i'm a teacher my wife and i -- that they're thinking about what happens if that tax bill changes on january 1st and they're making decisions about their spending right now. that's reality. the one thing i agree with republicans on in the 2010 elections was that the economy needed certainty. the thing that frustrates me is it is creating more uncertainty by them not signing on to this and passing it.
10:11 am
>> stephanie: absolutely. what i was saying last hour, representative, the thing we're not falling for is some of the republicans of right wing groups trying to criticize john boehner's plan -- >> oh, i know. >> stephanie: to make it seem like it is too much of a compromise for republicans. it is insane. this is the same plan they ran and lost on. >> we used to try that trick when we were kids. this cake is no good. don't eat it. >> stephanie: you don't want that! >> i think so, too. >> stephanie: i'm take yours. >> the public is tired of it. again, i understand. i'm going to have to swallow some bitter pills. i will not swallow them to hurt the middle class or things that do not improve the economy but i'm willing to make those concessions. i think we have a responsibility to be smart. i represent the mayo clinic and i don't think cuts to national institute of health are smart not just from a breakthrough standpoint in medicine. they're not smart economically. i think we do have a responsibility in government to provide a cost benefit analysis, early childhood education 12-1
10:12 am
on the return. you can't get that on the stock market. >> stephanie: representative you guys stay strong and keep fighting because i gotta say you know, you look at any poll and people are with us on these issues, you know. you can look at -- >> i agree. >> stephanie: tax cuts proveably caused these deficits. the social security does not -- doesn't add a cent to the deficit. >> i ran on this in a conservative district very clearly stated my position that i did not want to. i had to last time when the president asked us to, to extend all of the taxes for one year and that was a darn bitter pill for me to swallow. i was one of the democrats that voted on to get it through. i'm not going to do it again. it doesn't add to the economy and those top 2 don't need to get done. we all do agree on the bottom ones and i just -- i think now they've got themselves in a pretty tight box. i hope you keep beating the drum on this. >> stephanie: i think you're a helper. you're giving them an out. >> always the helpful teacher.

>> stephanie miller. >> think sometimes people are really mean, the hot popular girl. >> stephanie: we'll ask jacki what that's like. 34 minutes after the hour. 1-800-steph-12 toll free from anywhere. ♪ hello world, there's a new -- come on, get jacki ♪ >> stephanie: good morning jacki schechner. >> i like that song better. it is more upbeat and happy. >> stephanie: like you. you know, as we're approaching this fiscal cliff thing obviously everybody's talking about oh we've gotta cut the entitlements like medicare. you've been pointing out something for awhile that we don't have a medicare problem. we have a healthcare cost
10:32 am
problem. explain please, healthcare geek. >> this is one of the things people should really pay attention to because the healthcare crisis in this country gets so complicate and convoluted that people tune it out and then the republicans have this incredible opportunity to swoop in and make stuff up. we don't have a medicare problem. we have a healthcare cost problem. there is no competition in the healthcare market place right now. >> stephanie: right. >> okay. and people make money in the healthcare industry when prices go up. >> right. >> corporations make money when prices go up. we're talking about medical device manufacturers, drug companies, health insurance companies, they all make money the higher the prices are. they have no incentive to work for the public good. their incent sieve to make money for shareholders. higher prices in the healthcare market in general are a good thing for them. >> stephanie: right. you were pointing out we're forced -- because the baseline is fraudulently high. >> you hear a lot that medicare underpays. it is not that medicare underpays, it is that we have this faulty baseline that's too
10:33 am
high. medicare's rates are actually reasonable but we've created this fake market place where the baseline is so expensive that we, as a nation, are overpaying and we don't negotiate the way other countries do. so we're essentially subsidizing like france and germany, for example because their governments have worked out a way to negotiate prices. so medicare, for example gets to set rates on payments to doctors and hospitals but doesn't have any power to negotiate rates on medical devices, drugs or durable medical equipment. so we don't have a market place wherein we have any leverage. ultimately, we pay more than other countries do for those things because we don't have any say. >> stephanie: also, you were talking about cost basically being arbitrary. you can pay $4,000 at one hospital. $15,000 at another. >> it should be infuriating. people should be angry about this. we have no idea what things really cost in this country. medically.
10:34 am
so if you go to get a procedure or you have an emergency for god forbid and you end up in an emergency room, you're not price checking. you're going -- you're going to get fixed or healed. >> stephanie: i have a gushing head injury. maybe i should go shop around. >> you're not in a position to discriminate based on price. you just go and you get help. so it could cost you let's say -- delivery is something else because you have a little bit of time to plan for that hopefully. you're not instantiously getting pregnant and having a child but the kid cost you $4,000 to have a delivery at one hospital and up the road, it could be $15,000 for the same delivery. there is no regulation. it is something we could have liked to have had during healthcare reform. it is something congress hasn't taken on yet. it is totally arbitrary. >> $900 for an aspirin is a little steep. >> when i was working on healthcare reform, i used to get these calls all the time. a woman said she got a bill. it was $100 for a disposable
10:35 am
gown. and she said to me, i didn't wear a disposable gown. i wore a cloth gown. and she calls the hospital. the hospital says oh, no, it is not for your gown. it is for the gown the doctor was required to wear by law during your procedure. so she had to pay for the gown that the doctor wore. >> oh, my god. >> stephanie: healthcare being for profit is insane in the first place. because you're right. they can make up anything. you have no -- you have no ability to negotiate. no ability -- >> they don't answer to the patient. they answer to the shareholder. >> right. legally, they have a responsibility to make money for their shareholders. now something else i want to bring up while we have a little bit of time to talk about it. we hear about upping the age of eligibility. from 65 to 67. that's actually not a cost saver because what happens is for the individual, it is going to force people at the age of 65 to 67 to go out into the private
10:36 am
insurance market place to pay more out of pocket also though adding those people into the larger insurance market place will drive up the cost of private insurance for everybody else and ultimately make medicare more expensive because it is based on what we pay in the private insurance market. so you have to think this through. but it's not a reasonable solution to take people who are getting older and sicker and need more medical care and throw them out into an insurance market that makes money by charging us more and it basically raises rates on everybody else. you're rising the tide that way. it is not a cost-efficient strad of strategy. >> stephanie: medicare is in no danger as long as congress makes it a priority. they fearmonger on social security and medicare. it is a crisis. we have to do something now. what -- talk to us about that for a minute. >> well, yeah, congress somehow seems to find the money for the unnecessary wars and subsidize the oil companies. it has the money to bail out
10:37 am
wall street. it finds the money to help the auto industry. it is a matter of priorities. if congress turns around and says we're going to allocate money to make sure that our seniors, our most vulnerable are protected at the time in their life when they need it most, they make that a priority. the money is there. it is how the money is allocated. and if you say that we're going to take care of each other as society and we're not going to let people grow into old age wondering where their next meal is going to come from or die because they can't get basic medical care, we're making the decisions we need to make that will work for us as a society. we're doing the right thing by people who have given us their best. >> stephanie: jacki someone was saying, perfect example of them voting against the disabilities act with bob dole there in his wheelchair on the senate floor. >> astonishing. >> stephanie: people go i don't want to be republican because they're too mean. >> that's disgusting. that in and of itself, it turns out there were members of congress who actually supported
10:38 am
the bill in writing then voted against it on the floor. it is despicable. i don't know how you can take a look at something like that and find a procedural hangup or i don't know, some ideological loophole. i don't even know why they would vote against it but it is extraordinary to me. there is a lack of compassion and humanity. >> stephanie: as you say, we can take care of our seniors and our disabled. it is priorities. if the rich pay their fair share, for instance. >> that's all we need to do. there are ways to modify the system but it's not medicare's problem. it's the healthcare system in general. we really, as progressives, need to be adamant about the facts here. republicans want to privatize medicare because it is going to make more money for the rich in this country. it has been there are method all along. it has been their goal. that's not changing. >> stephanie: absolutely. >> doing everything they can to dismantle the social safety net.
